• - Measure and communicate the business value of multimedia services and investments through operational efficiencies, cost optimization, technology utilization, service quality, and continuous improvement opportunities.

Technical & Broadcast

• - Own and oversee livestream and virtual production infrastructure — including encoders, switchers (vMix, TriCaster, Blackmagic ATEM), Zoom, streaming platforms, and redundancy/failover planning.
• - Establish and maintain standardized technical configurations and production practices across locations to ensure reliable, consistent live and recorded event experiences.
• - Provide hands‑on technical support and production expertise when needed, including live event operations, troubleshooting, and complex productions, while maintaining accountability for production excellence, operational effectiveness, and successful delivery.
• - Guide production professionals and partners in proactively identifying, troubleshooting, and resolving live production issues, including signal loss, audio drift, and synchronization errors, with minimal event disruption.
• - Lead and coordinate the successful execution of in-person, broadcast, virtual, and hybrid events, ensuring contributors are prepared for the distinct technical requirements, operational complexities, and audience experiences of each format.
• - Own broadcast-quality standards for color, audio levels, closed captioning, and multi-platform delivery specifications.
